Well in my case I've always had a HTC phone back to my days of the G1 and the batteries always sucked . The EVO 3D is very intriguing but the only differences is that its running sense 3.0 , dual core, and ofcourse the 3D. In my opinion the 3D is gonna be cool for about a couple weeks and I think ill never use it again not to mention what it will do to a most likely poor battery . I'm already running since 3.0 on my OG EVO I really like the new improvements to it but im back on A.D.W Launcher already

I think the GS2 will be a better pick up for me because of the Super Amoled screen which is gorgeous and also a battery saver , the AMAZING camera , the great build quality from what I hear , and ofcourse how BEASTLY the specs are. Just seems like the more logical 500+ purchase to me since Sprint just changed their upgrade policy

Some of the same reasons I'm leaning GS2 over the 3D.
It's a quality built product, razor thin and the best camera on a smartphone EVER. The Evo's 3D will be a gimmick and a battery drainer, I use MIUI anyways, so Sense 3.0 means jack %%+@ to me. 

Exactly , looks like we gonna be on that GS2 wave

I don't think they're getting a new Nexus device until the 4th quarter.  Usually around December.

Yes if you're on a sense rom and 'unroot it' -Ship S-Off-No asop roms.

I have no idea what that last part means. Elaborate please.

S-off basically means it will be unlocked to the point where custom roms can be flashed to your phone.   
And he means AOSP (Android open source project) ROM, which is what all android phones have on them before it is customized by each carrier.   This is the basic, no addition android that people know and love.

To clarify some more

The Nexus S came out for t-mobile 1st and only does (gsm-based 3g bands) It does not do 4G cause it doesn't have the 4G HUSPA+ hardware.

The Nexus S for Sprint was recently released and does (cdma-based 3g bands) It can do 4G, since it has the 4G Wimax chip built into the phone.

Also Sprint and Google are becoming more tightly close when providing tech-services, like Google NFC "Wallet", Google Voice. So if you want a true full Google integration with a Nexus S go with sprint, if don't care go where you feel is the best for you.

As far as i know, any phone can definitely be unrooted........But double check on xda before you do anything.

I think you guys are basing your decision on the G2 just because it takes nice pictures... ask yourself how often do you even take pictures with your phone like that.

Well I know a girl who uploads like 20-30 pics a day to her facebook because it's linked to her phone or something she was telling me so for someone like her then yeah I understand.

For your regular phone user such as myself... talk/text mostly, and all the other stuff are just perks and added

I'm going to do a wait and see approach on my next phone.

Evo is the best phone I've ever had and more than I could ever really ask for in a phone so I don't know if I'm willing to part with it as of yet.
